Hi,
I have seen documentation about configuring Ubuntu to automatically install security updates without prompting or notifying the user. Apparently, you could configure this via the GUI by selecting System-->Administration-->Software Sources
Then you would click on the "Internet Updates" tab, and it would allow you to configure the frequency that it checks for updates and also there was a checkbox labeled "Install security updates without confirmation".
However, I have 8.04LTS (Hardy) installed and I don't see any "software sources" choice in the System-->Administration menu. Has it been moved? Or is there some other way to configure this now?
Ideally I'd like to know what configuration file this information is kept in so I could edit the config file directly in order to update the configurations on many boxes quickly rather than have to use the gui on each box.
Any info on this is appreciated.
